spider we think cellar but not sure - Loxosceles
Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada, USA
August 3, 2011
Size: 8mm from abdomen to fang
This spider was found in a home and was brought in for identification. The more I look at other desert recluse spiders on this site; the more it looks like the desert recluse.
